The following is from Jen in Vancouver:

WOW!!!!!! To use a term from Frohike, "Too Freaking Amazing!!!' I'm in a euphoric haze right now. Some time tomorrow, no scratch that, some time on Wednesday I'll wire something coherent on what a fantastic time I had!!! First the cast list. Dean Haglund hosted the whole thing and I can't say enough about how funny he was and how he really got the others to "come out and play" with him. Of course every knows that Gillian Anderson was there (who autograph I got and exchanged about a dozen words with), as were Chris Owens (who's autograph O also got along with an actual conversation, all be it a short conversation), Mitch Pileggi, Chris Carter, Rob Goodwin, Sheila Larkins, Nicholas Lea, Rebecca Todlan, Tom Braidwood, Bruce Hardwood and last but certainly far from least William B. Davis. It was he who organized the whole thing. Oh, both the grown up Samantha and the young girl were there, to hand out a prize and in the audience, respectively. Nicholas Lea, who had spent the day with David Duchovny, brought Duchovny's best wishes and his apology that he wasn't able to get out of his shooting to be there.

The whole tone of the evening was very light, all of the actors either did improvs or told stories and all answered question. Three of mine where answered. The audience was asked to write their questions down, but also to feel free to call out. I asked Chris Carter what he thought about all the stuff on-line. He said he checked it out and read a lot of fanfic, "especially the really nasty stuff" (his words not mine)

William B. Davis had a hilarious pit about comparing Mulder and CSM and explaining to us tung-in-cheek why CSM is the hero and not Mulder. On one thing I forget exactly what he said, but it had something to do with looks and I called out that Mulder won hands down because he was "HOT". To which Davis replied, "poor misguided girl."

Someone wrote the question if Gillian Anderson could have Scully do one thing that she hasn't done for next season what would it be. Anderson about to take a sip of her water said, "Get laid," without missing a beat. After that the whole evening had jokes about who was going to appear in Scully's bed. Carter jokingly said that he would bring back all the dead, male characters...like Pendrell and Mr. X for that. To which Davis asked if he could stay dead. Oh Gillian Anderson didn't know about the wedding ring. Someone asked Carter about that and she was like, "WHAT!!!! What wedding ring?" Then she said something about how she guesses she's not going to get laid after all.

Carter also said something about bringing Pendrell back to life in another series, but I couldn't tell if he was joking or not.

I also asked Mitch Pileggi how he likes married life. He got this big smile on his face and said it was great. Then followed that up with the announcement that his wife is pregnant.

It was over all one of the best evenings I've ever had. We, the audience, really got to talk with the actors and the directors...I can't wait for my pictures. Both Gillian Anderson and Nicholas Lea were VERY nervous when they started out on stage, but after loosening up we all "played" nice together.

The following is from Mike who I believe has a website, but I can't seem to find my bookmark for it anywhere...

I was scribbling notes pretty frantically, so this is not word for word. Hopefully someone else had it all on tape (heh heh)...

The show was hosted by Dean Haglund, who started out with a comedy routine, getting one of the audience members to supply sound effects for a typical XF show "teaser."

The first guests were the "two Moms", Rebecca Toolan (Ma Mulder) and Sheila Larken (Ma Scully).

Rebecca Toolan said that when she was acting with DD, she had "real maternal feelings" for her on-screen son. Interestingly, her real son lives in the same part of town as DD and met him at the Kitsilano Starbucks, introducing himself as the real "baby Mulder". DD (who didn't know RT's son) looked at him as if he was a crazed fan. She said she had suggested the name Elizabeth Christine for her character.

Sheila Larken was asked how she could be stable considering the emotional turmoil her character has gone through. She said "I have a normal life" and "Margaret Scully has faith." She said that the writers in this show certainly like to "knock off fathers."

Next were the Lone Gunmen. Tom Braidwood asked the audience which of the three they would like to take to dinner. (Byers won.) When asked about his personal feelings for GA, TB said "You don't know what [Dean Haglund] thinks about her." TB said that GA was "terrific." Someone asked Bruce Harwood (a Vancouver native) what he thinks of the weather. He said "I like it." The final question to the Gunmen was whether they had any computer knowledge. TB said "they explain it to us." DH mentioned his own Web site (http://www.deanx.com/), saying he is about three months behind in replying to his e-mail.

Next up was Chris Owens. He answered questions about his character rather ambiguously, saying "I don't have a clue what's going on." He said when he first met William B. Davis during the "Musings of CSM" episode, Davis told him, "You don't actually smoke those things and you're not tall enough." When someone asked him if he liked peanut butter sandwiches, he said, "I'm an actor, I live off peanut butter sandwiches and macaroni." As to whether he was the only choice for the role, he said he got the part because of his resemblance to Spender. When his "biggest fan" in the audience asked what his favorite color, he looked at his shirt and said "blue." Dean Haglund said "my favorite color is plaid."

Nick Lea arrived, and was given flowers by a female member of the audience whom he kissed. He said "my heart is beating like a rabbit." He talked about wearing a prosthetic for the scenes where the goopy oil came out of his face. When asked if he enjoyed playing an evil character, he replied, "I don't really consider this character 'bad'. He's a survivalist. I try to bring moments of humanity..." (here the audience laughed, to which he said, "Yeah, laugh!") He continued: "Nobody's purely bad" and described his character as "an unusual person in unusual circumstances." When asked about the infamous kiss between himself and Mulder, NL said they had to do it about 17 times because he and DD were laughing so hard. NL said that he has auditioned for the part in NYPD Blue soon to be vacated by Jimmy Smits (!) and that the part in the Al Pacino film "didn't happen." He will be appearing on the show when it moves to L.A. He said he doesn't speak Russian which he finds a "difficult" language. (He added, "I don't speak English that well.") He ended by speaking of DD (who was filming and couldn't be there), describing him as "a misunderstood individual" with "a big heart", "a warm caring guy" who "loves this city."

Megan Leitch made a brief appearance drawing a ticket for one of the prizes, saying that during the 100th episode party, Chris Carter had a bit too much to drink and revealed that her character will be making more appearances.

Following intermission, Bill Davis gave his theories about why CSM is a better person than Mulder). When he asked "What does Mulder want?" someone in the audience called out "Scully." WBD replied, "I wish it was so simple." He asked "Is Mulder rational?" saying that if Mulder went on Larry King, there would be panic which made the scenes in Indepence Day look like peanuts. He described Mulder as "a chicken-livered pup." When asked to compare himself with Mulder in terms of "style", WBD said, "We don't have to say anything more." He said CSM doesn't need a flashlight -- he lives in the dark with all that smoke. He said "I think Mulder's a virgin," that after five years you would expect Mulder to make a pass at Scully ... not necessarily shutting the door and making "a Presidential pass." He speculated that CSM could be The Lone Gunmen's father since he was "a good breeder." When someone shouted, "Mulder's hot," WBD said, this was because of the "lighting and the music." He said that with the move to L.A., the show will have a different look. CSM will come out of the shadows and will be bathed in "a warm pink light." Scully will be lit from the floor. Mulder and Scully together will be shrouded in gloom and doom. When CSM appears "there will be harp music" and he will blow smoke rings to make a "halo around my head."

Mitch Pileggi came out dressed informally wearing new size 13 runners. DH said that Skinner and the Gunmen finally have a scene together in the movie. DH said "which movie?" and threw in the name of Red Hot Video (a local porno video store). MP praised the Vancouver crew, saying they would be hard to match in L.A. (and he didn't care if the people in L.A. heard this). He said his character has respect for both Mulder and Scully, but doesn't necessarily agree with their methods. MP said that unlike DD, who can deal with dialog very quickly, he has to "agonize" over scripts. MP and DH did a comedy routine (which they first did in Chicago) where they had a scene in Skinner's office, where the audience prompts them to switching accents to different nationalities. MP helped DH draw another prize ticket during which DH spilled tickets all over the floor!

Bill Davis returned, and discussed with DH the fact that he never had a scene together with Scully. They said that Scully's worst nightmare would be having an affair with CSM! He demonstrated water skiing techniques (WBD is a waterskiing champ.) DH asked if we would be seeing WBD in a Speedo in an upcoming episode.

Gillian Anderson finally arrived to the delight of fans. She said, "I'm not funny," to which WBD replied, "You look funny." He then did his water skiing moves for her again. A question from the audience asked about GA's dog, which recently had surgery (the dog will accompany her to L.A.). DH said "the dog is out doing personal appearances." When asked what she will miss the most in Vancouver, GA replied, "the rain." When GA wondered how DH could be heard without a mike (he had one taped to his shirt), WBD, said that DH studied at the William Davis Acting School to learn this special technique. A phone was heard ringing backstage, and someone in the audience said, "It's Mulder." GA said, "I doubt it." Someone asked GA what was her first contact with the acting world, she said she auditioned for a play like Alice in Wonderland when she was age 12. When DH asked if her motivation for doing this was that her boyfriend was playing Peter Rabbit, she said "*that's* funny." GA said that the biggest change in her life was "becoming a mother." Someone asked if it was GA's idea to have a daughter on the show ("Emily"). She said that CC wanted her real daughter Piper to play the role, but she decided this was "not appropriate." But ... when Piper saw the little girl playing her daughter on the show, she came up to GA and said, "Mommy, I want to work with you." (The audience went "awwww"...) GA said her "most fun episode" was Humbug. She started to talk about the weird characters she met during the show, but things got a bit out of hand when she started to describe some of the things that Jim Rose was doing. Someone in the audience named "Robert the Stalker," asked what was her favorite Vancouver hangout. She said "I don't hang out," but mentioned a couple of concerts she had been to. Someone else asked her whether Scully will tell Mulder where to go considering how many times he has ditched her, she said "I hope so." The stock phrase "Where you going?" was finally eliminated from episodes at GA's request. Her favorite ice cream is "anything with chocolate in it." She said in the episode where she was in a coma, she was appalled at how her breasts were blocking her face. GA brought down the house when she said that if she could write an episode where Scully could do something new it would be "get laid."

By this time Bob Goodwin had arrived on stage, and he spoke of difficulties in directing his wife Sheila Larken in the XF. He said in one very serious scene she came up with an "oh vey" gesture which caused a minor dispute. Someone asked what kitchen appliance he would like to be and he said "a trash compactor" since it was similar to the producer's job. Another question was "if you could be on a spaceship leaving earth and take five people with you, who would they be?" He replied, "The Spice Girls." Goodwin is directing the season finale, and says that the bad guys from the finale will appear in the XF movie.

Chris Carter was the last guest. When someone brought up the wedding ring in Traveller's, GA seemed very shocked -- she didn't know about this! DH said "There goes that 'get laid' thing." Carter was asked what he does in his leisure time after his 20 hour days are over. He said, "I don't remember." He said that he hasn't tried snowboarding yet. Max Fenig, according to CC "is dead ... but could come back at any time." Agent Pendrell will show up in CC's "next series." GA interjected "in my bed." DH said "everybody who dies shows up in Scully's bed eventually." As far as checking out the Web and newsgroups is concerned, CC said he likes "fan fiction, especially the really nasty stuff."

After the show ended, GA spent a *lot* of time signing stuff for fans, who flocked to the front, as did some of the other cast members.
